Profile:

A fine wicket-keeper, and solid batsman often opening the innings, Paul Gibb made a century on debut for Yorkshire (the first amateur to do so), and followed this with 93 and 106 in his first Test. Bespectacled, and in his later years balding, he was mostly a defensive bat, taking few risks. After his career was interrupted by the 2nd world war, he again played for England in the 1946-47 Ashes tour, but retired on his return home, unable to play as an amateur. He re-appeared in first class cricket four years later, as a professional with Essex, and on his retirement in 1956 became a first-class and Test umpire, travelling the country in a caravan. He spent some time coaching in south Africa, influencing the young Mike Procter, but on his death was working as a bus-driver (Dave Liverman, 1998).
